Question:
I have a male cat who is about 8-9 months old. Recently, in the last month, I've noticed my bed sheets smelling like cat urine. It's in the areas he usually sleeps. My cat also smells like urine sometimes. He's not neutered, so my first thought was that he was spraying. But, I have not yet seen him spray. And the strong urine smell is on a flat surface, not a vertical surface.
I took him to get him neutered a couple weeks ago, but the vet couldn't do it because he took my cat's tempurature and he had a fever (103). I also told the vet how my cat sneezes every now and then. (I assumed it was allergies). My cat eats good, so I didn't know why he would have a fever. Anyway, the vet told me to come back in a couple weeks and they would check him out again.
So, last week I brought my cat in and he still has the fever. The vet told me to wait again on the neutering, and he gave my cat a couple antibiotic shots and allergy shots. He also gave me amoxicillan to give to my cat morning and night for two weeks.
So, I've been doing this for a few days now.
I'm wondering if the urine smell problem is related to his fever. Like I said, I've never actually seen my cat spray, it just smells really strong where he lays (and he himself smells). Is he spraying and I'm just not catching it, or could it be he has a urinary tract infection that's causing the smell (and also the fever)? If so, will the antibiotics clear it up? I noticed the smell again today. I've been giving my cat the antibiotics for about 5 days now.

Answer:
I'm not sure about this, sorry. But I think you should ask your vet about it. Maybe it is a urinary tract infection that has been causing all the fevers.

Answer:
Could be a UTI that is causing him to leak some urine while he's on your bed, but you'd have to ask the vet about that. Unfixed male cat urine is very strong smelling so he may smell like urine after coming out of the litter box with a bit of it on his paws, or he could be spraying. If he's 8 or 9 months and not neutered now is about the time he would start to spray. A black light would help show the urine spots and would help determine whether he's peeing or spraying. It would also help you find all the pee spots and clean them properly, I suggest using Nature's Miracle.

Answer:
Un-neutered cats can be a bit stinky, but I'm guessing a bladder infection, since this is recent. Fever goes with it, absolutely. If he has not been a sprayer in the past and nothing about his situation has changed (move, new cat, new baby, etc), I doubt if he would start now.
I'm not sure about your vet, though, he seems to be throwing meds at symptoms, instead of getting to the bottom of the problem. I'd give him a call, be very clear on the urine thing and ask if the meds he prescribed are indicated for a UTI. You may have to take him back in and have a sample drawn.
I would also feed exclusively canned food for the time being, to make sure he's getting enough liquid. Or moisten his dry food.
